Khedira, who has had his own injury issues, missed the World Cup Final last year when he was hurt in the pre-match warm-up.

That was after he scored in the semi-final as Germany sensationally humiliated hosts Brazil 7-1.
Khedira is now ready to quit Real and fancies the Premier League, but he could also be offered a return to the Bundesliga by Wolfsburg.

Also leaving the Bernabeu is on-loan United striker Javier Hernandez, with Real deciding not to take up their option to sign the Mexican permanently.

Southampton, though, are interested in the player known as Chicharito.

That could trigger talks on an exchange deal, with United keen on the Saints’ England right-back Nathaniel Clyne.
